Keynote Speaker – Nova Reid
We are thrilled to announce our keynote speaker this year is the incredible Nova Reid. Nova Reid is a thought leader, author, producer, TED speaker and curator of courageous conversations.
Often described as a force to be reckoned with, Nova uses her professional background in mental wellbeing to encourage meaningful change from the inside out.
Through her impactful advocacy and powerful public speaking, writing and storytelling, she has become renowned as an agent of change, selected as one of Black Magic Network’s Top 100 Black British Women and receiving a Precious Award for Social Impact. Nova is a regular contributor to BBC News and Sky News, and has written for publications including the Guardian, Vogue, Elle, and Stylist. In 2018, she was invited to attend the
Royal Wedding of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex to provide expert media commentary.
She has provided bespoke consultancy and works with a variety of organisations including Google, BT, Bloody Good Period and human rights charity Birthrights. She also runs a sought-after online academy – Becoming Anti-Racist with Nova Reid – available at www.novareid.com
In 2019, Nova was headhunted by TEDx Frankfurt to deliver a talk on racial
microaggressions – Not all superheroes wear capes – which was upgraded as a TED talk in 2020 and has racked up over 120k views. Through her TED talk, podcast series, Conversations with Nova Reid and as a former professional actress, Nova has established herself as a highly-skilled public speaker and interviewer who creates space for people to talk about a variety of topics, a personal highlight being an in-conversation with acclaimed actor David Harewood at the National Theatre in 2021. Nova’s debut book, The Good Ally, published by HarperCollins, in 2021 has been consistently described as life-changing.
“The Good Ally is a powerful trojan horse. While the title calls out to every white person who has wanted to know ‘How can I become a good anti-racist ally?’, it’s content delivers hard-hitting facts, stories, and reflections that remind us that it’s not about being good, it’s about doing better.”
Layla F. Saad, Sunday Times bestselling author of Me and White Supremacy
